Update 05-09-1012: The North Korean Restaurant in Amsterdam was closed down in September 2012. Articles in the press suggest that there were disagreements between the North Korean staff and the Dutch owner. The staff claimed that they were being exploited and had to work for free. The owner claims that the staff only worked in his restaurant to get an EU work permit so that they could start their own restaurant.
